Sunday School Lessons: What is God Like?

42 unit study based on the Attributes of God for kids


One of the most important tasks of anyone in charge of children’s ministry is that of deciding what truth to teach the children under your care. Each lesson aims to share God’s love and hep younger children grow in their Christian faith. In my years as a children’s ministry director it was one task that I took very seriously. There were so many things I wanted the children in our church to know, but as I listed them out, they all boiled down to the gospel: who is God?, who is man? and what did Jesus do? With these three simple questions and spiritual guidelines in mind I started forming our children’s materials. Only by knowing their Heavenly Father, can children understand God’s promise of salvation through Jesus Christ.

What is the history of Sunday School movement?

Answer: The Sunday School movement began in England in the late 18th century as a response to the growing popularity of Unitarian and Deist thought. Christians realized they needed to provide more systematic and age-appropriate instruction in Christianity to counteract the influence of these rationalistic teachings.
In 1785, a group of Anglican priests led by John Rippon published A New Systematic Course of Instructions in Religion, which outlined a graded curriculum for teaching Christian doctrine to children. This book served as the prototype for later Sunday School manuals and curricula.
The first Sunday Schools opened their doors in the early 1790s, and they immediately became very popular.
